I really don't care if you or anyone calls time or not. I never put down anyone for doing it one way or another. My participation in this thread was prompted by my memories of training and my interest in getting the correct information, which, if you have read my immediate previous post, you will see that thanks to Bobby and JEAPU I now have.
That is the where my curiousity lies, Steve, in finding the correct answer, whether I had it previously or not. Not in the history of a local association. I don't mind having been incorrect, if I can find out what is right
Enjoy your evening.

Well, the way you dismissed it by saying, "whatever the hell that is," indicated an arrogance on your part. I felt that perhaps if you were to take the time to find out what it was (how hard could it be to figure out, BTW? Let's see...S, uh, D, uh... oh the BUA, gee that's a toughie!) you wouldn't have said what you did.
I didn't call you names. Anal is short for anal-retentive, which is a bonafide personality trait, not a nickname. You are anal-retentive, based on all the posts I've read from you. I know your type very well, having dealt with many others just like you. And what other sites are you referring to? I only go on ABUA and Umptalk, and name calling is frowned on there as well.
I only mentioned my association to explain for people like Justme that I was speaking of a specific group of people when I said "we." I didn't want to appear as speaking for all umpires everywhere.
